FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates generally to the field of conveyanceservice management and more particularly to an interactive network andmethod for offering, managing, and securing conveyance services insubstantially real time based upon a client's preferences.

BACKGROUND

As in many new industries, there are inefficiencies in existing supportsystems and methods due to the lack of experience in optimizing thesesystems for the needs of the new industry. These inefficiencies aretypically identified over time through trial and error, eventuallyleading to technological advancement in the field. This generalizationholds true for the conveyance industry, which includes a large number ofnew industry segments such as ride-hail, rideshare, and on-demanddelivery services.

The existing inefficient support systems and methods available to manyconveyance industry segments impose disadvantages on nearly allinvolved: the clients, the service providers, and the representativeswho perform the services on behalf of the service providers.

Many failings within the existing systems and methods are rooted incomputer technology and tied to the fact that the modern conveyanceindustry segments operate and change quite rapidly: a conveyance serviceoffering that is available one minute can be snapped up by anotherclient in the next minute, or a service request can be answered byanother representative before the service provider can respond anddispatch its representative. In the fast pace of the conveyance industrysegment, neither representatives nor conveyance clients can procure theavailable information and evaluate it rapidly and accurately to make awell-informed decision on the fly. There is currently no systemavailable to assist both representatives and conveyance clients with therapid processing capability needed to keep up with the rate of change.This lack of a substantially real time capability leads to arepresentative obtaining a suboptimal, one-size-fits-all conveyanceservice request and a conveyance client obtaining a suboptimal,one-size-fits-all conveyance service offering due to the inability toeasily apply their own preferences.

Currently, a conveyance client requesting a ride in the ride-hailindustry segment is offered different ride options, prices, wait times,and times to destination depending on which service provider is offeringa given conveyance service and when the conveyance service offering issecured. Often, a conveyance client is provided options of conveyanceservice offerings from only one service provider to accept or decline. Arepresentative is limited even further as only one conveyance servicerequest is shown when a representative wants to provide a conveyanceservice in any conveyance industry segment. The current approaches formatching up representatives with conveyance service requests, andconveyance service offerings to conveyance clients, is inefficient andwasteful.

The current systems and methods for a representative to analyze incomingconveyance service requests are very difficult and time consuming in thefast-paced, substantially real time environment of conveyance industrysegments. The current technology does not permit a representative toanalyze or evaluate and then accept conveyance service requests that therepresentative would prefer based on their individual preferences.Representatives are currently given a single conveyance service requestand only have the option of accepting or declining that specificconveyance service request, without an alternative. Frequently, thedetails of a conveyance service request that a representative isresponding to are not provided in advance but are only revealed afterthat conveyance service request has already been secured. Thus, arepresentative is forced to either blindly accept a conveyance servicerequest or decline to work at all.

In addition, a representative will often be penalized for canceling aconveyance service request that they may not wish to fulfill, even whenthe representative would ordinarily not have accepted the request in thefirst place had they been given a choice. This disadvantage, amongothers, has led to the common practice of representatives working formore than one service provider at the same time to allow some semblanceof choice. However, the effort required to evaluate incoming requestsfrom multiple service providers injects its own delays and detracts fromthe ability to rapidly respond as needed in the substantially real timeenvironment of conveyance industry segments. Specifically, to evaluateconveyance service requests, a representative would have to login tomultiple applications from different service providers and navigatebetween these applications, viewing one individual conveyance servicerequest per application. The serial approach to evaluating conveyanceservice requests can cause a representative to miss out on desirableconveyance service requests that a representative might have preferred.Currently there is no system that permits the simultaneous evaluation ofmultiple conveyance service requests from multiple service providers insubstantially real time.

Without a way to evaluate conveyance service requests continuously insubstantially real time, a representative currently cannot maximizetheir efforts as efficiently as they would like. To secure a preferredconveyance service request, a representative might be tempted to foregoless desirable conveyance service requests in the hope that a morepreferred request to become available, but this risks missing out onincome if none comes along.

There is also currently no system or method to evaluate and secureconveyance service requests in substantially real time across more thanone conveyance industry segment. The absence of this capability furtherlimits a representative's exposure in the conveyance industry and theirability to operate more efficiently if the representative wants toprovide conveyance services across conveyance industry segments. Inaddition, current limitations also reduce the amount of potentialpreferred conveyance service requests available to a representative. Forexample, if a representative wants to provide a ride in the ride-hailindustry segment, then deliver food in the good delivery industrysegment to take advantage of overlaps in locations or routes, therepresentative does not have the ability to evaluate and secure therequests in substantially real time. If there were a system and methodto allow a representative to easily work across industry segments, therepresentative would have access to a greater number of diverseconveyance service requests allowing more efficient use of their timeand vehicle resources.

Currently, some service providers dynamically increase prices in certainareas for various reasons. Representatives looking to work moreefficiently or earn more money try to work in these areas as much aspossible, however, by the time a representative gets to the area withelevated pricing, the increased pricing may have moved or been removed.Representatives experience the challenge of chasing the elevated pricingareas but often cannot capitalize on them. This problem could beaddressed by providing a tool to allow representatives to predict wherethe areas of elevated pricing will be in order to maximize their earningpotential.

The need to evaluate multiple conveyance service requests in asequential order creates a situation known as the travelling salesmanproblem, which is compounded when new conveyance service requests orofferings become available in substantially real time.

Many of the challenges described herein are experienced by conveyanceservice providers in general, whether the providers are representatives,e.g., drivers, dispatchers, or fleet managers, or they are owners oroperators of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Service providers aredisadvantaged due to the inefficient systems and methods currently usedin conveyance industry segments. A significant problem among serviceproviders is the lack of representatives to provide conveyance services.Because representatives can switch among different service providers tochase the best opportunities, service providers may not have a stablesupply of representatives. With autonomous vehicles becoming moreprevalent, service providers may believe they have found the solution tothis problem by using driverless AVs to supplement the lack of drivers.The ability to employ AVs reduces the chance of wage and benefitdisputes, taxi permits, vehicle qualifications, and vehicle maintenance.Service providers can use autonomous vehicles to address some of thesechallenges and increase profits, however an efficient system and methodto incorporate or utilize autonomous vehicles into the conveyanceindustry segments is needed.

When service providers' AVs are used, other issues such as the vehiclerouting and vehicle dispatch become important. Existing technology islacking in its ability to evaluate and then secure a preferredconveyance service request for an AV. For example, there is currently nosystem to automatically analyze conveyance service requests continuouslyin substantially real time and secure additional conveyance servicerequests while an AV performs a conveyance service.

General Description of the Inventive Platform and Problems Being Solved

In one embodiment, a Representative Automated Platform (also referred toas “RAP”) comprises a technology based solution, automated in whole orin part, that employs a substantially real time system and method toassist a representative in evaluating and/or securing a preferredconveyance service request.

The inventive RAP can analyze or evaluate a conveyance service requestcontinuously in substantially real time, in order to identify and thensecure a preferred conveyance service request based on a representativepreference and a substantially real time geographical location of arepresentative. After securing or obtaining a first preferred conveyanceservice request, a representative can perform a conveyance service andThe inventive RAP, can automatically and continuously repeat asubstantially real time process of analyzing or evaluating and thensecuring or obtaining a subsequent or additional preferred conveyanceservice request until a process is stopped by a representative and arepresentative performs a final conveyance service.

The inventive RAP, automated in whole or in part, provides improvedefficiency for a representative in analyzing or evaluating a conveyanceservice request continuously in substantially real time to identify andthen secure a preferred conveyance service request and a subsequent oradditional preferred conveyance service request. The inventive RAP canbe updated in substantially real time with an incoming conveyanceservice request to be continuously analyzed or evaluated and can thensecure a subsequent or additional preferred conveyance service request.The inventive RAP can continuously analyze or evaluate a conveyanceservice request in substantially real time and secure a preferredconveyance service request while a representative performs a conveyanceservice.

As a result, a representative and a service provider can operate moreefficiently and can potentially perform an additional conveyance serviceto increase earning potential. A proposal or recommendation from theinventive RAP of a different conveyance service request can improveefficiency relating to a representative and solve a problem relating toa traveling salesman problem or a dynamic traveling salesman problem.The inventive RAP can solve a problem by identifying, securing orobtaining a subsequent or additional preferred conveyance servicerequest, and performing a conveyance service more efficiently bycontinuously analyzing or evaluating a conveyance service request insubstantially real time. This improved efficiency can allow arepresentative to perform an additional conveyance service based on arepresentative preference and a substantially real time geographicallocation of a representative. A benefit of the present invention canaddress a problem relating to a traveling salesman problem, a dynamictraveling salesman problem, or a combination thereof, relating to aconveyance industry segment.

In one embodiment, the inventive RAP, when automated in part, canenhance representative efficiency. The RAP can perform a process toidentify a preferred conveyance service request relating to arepresentative preference and a representative can simply accept ordecline. In this example, a pop-up or notification of a preferredconveyance service request can be displayed on an application for arepresentative to accept or decline. If declined, a next preferredconveyance service request can be displayed until a preferred conveyanceservice request is accepted, declined, or a representative turns off theRAP. The ability of the RAP to continuously analyze or evaluate insubstantially real time and display a preferred conveyance servicerequest, allows a representative to work more efficiently and improve auser interaction compared to the current state of the art.

The RAP enhances the decision making process for the representative bycontinuously analyzing or evaluating conveyance service requests insubstantially real time. Existing approaches are limited in that theypermit a representative to receive a subsequent conveyance servicerequest at one point in time, and often only when the representative isclose to completing the service relating to a previously-acceptedconveyance service request.

Such limitations impact the representative's decision making ability anddo not allow the representative to apply preferences, reducing theopportunity to secure a most preferred conveyance service requestavailable at that time. The RAP can identify a preferred conveyanceservice request that a representative might otherwise miss due to thecurrent approaches. The RAP can secure a subsequent or additionalpreferred conveyance service request while a representative isperforming a conveyance service. Due to the current state of the art, arepresentative can potentially miss securing or obtaining a subsequentor additional preferred conveyance service request because arepresentative is limited on how and when a conveyance service requestcan be secured or obtained, let alone even analyzed or evaluated.Instead of having a representative multi-task while performing aconveyance service and searching for a next conveyance service request,which can often lead to securing or obtaining a suboptimal conveyanceservice request, The RAP can take care of analyzing or evaluating andthen securing or obtaining a preferred conveyance service request for arepresentative.

With the RAP, by using continuous and improved substantially real timeanalysis or evaluation instead of a one-time analysis or evaluation, adecision making process can be improved, and a preferred conveyanceservice request can be secured or obtained. A benefit of an improveddecision making process of the present invention can also address aproblem relating to a traveling salesman problem, a dynamic travelingsalesman problem, or a combination thereof, relating to a conveyanceindustry segment.

The inventive RAP can enhance usability or interaction with a user. Thecurrent state of the art can require a representative to take valuabletime and effort to potentially receive a subsequent or additionalconveyance service request, often times while driving. The RAP canupdate or notify a representative while performing a conveyance serviceabout including but not limited to a direction, a route, a conveyanceclient, a conveyance service request, a preferred conveyance servicerequest, a beginning service geographical location, an ending servicegeographical location, or a combination thereof, which can improve aninteraction or usability for a representative to perform a conveyanceservice. The present invention can improve the current state of the artand can allow a representative to input or provide a representativepreference and the RAP can facilitate analyzing or evaluating and thensecuring or obtaining a subsequent or additional preferred conveyanceservice request continuously in substantially real time.

The inventive RAP also provides safety benefits. The less attention arepresentative has to pay to a mobile device and the more focused theyare on performing a conveyance service, the safer it is for therepresentative, the conveyance client, and others in the vicinity orarea. The RAP can use a preferred system and a preferred method toautomatically search, filter, analyze or evaluate, and then secure apreferred conveyance service request based on a representativepreference and geographical location of the representative whileallowing the representative to focus solely on the conveyance service,providing higher levels of safety for the conveyance client and others.

The inventive RAP can manage or control a representative from a singlevehicle perspective, a fleet perspective, an independent third partyperspective, or a combination thereof. The RAP benefits a fleet manager,a service provider, a good supplier, an AV owner/controller, a logisticsprovider, or a logistics supplier by integrating or implementingsoftware, hardware, logistics, or a combination thereof, by optimizingvehicle utilization in substantially real time. The RAP can integrate orimplement software, hardware, logistics, or a combination thereof, foror with a fleet manager, a service provider, a good supplier, an AVowner/controller, a logistics provider, or a logistics supplier. The RAPcan integrate or implement software, hardware, logistics, or acombination thereof, for or with a fleet manager, a service provider, agood supplier, an AV owner/controller, a logistics provider, or alogistics supplier to facilitate a conveyance service in substantiallyreal time between a representative and a conveyance client. A fleetmanager, a service provider, a good supplier, an AV owner/controller, alogistics provider, or a logistics supplier can employ or utilize TheRAP to optimize vehicle utilization, which can result in more affordableservices and can improve consumer sentiment among or with a conveyanceclient.

In another embodiment, an Autonomous Vehicle Automated Platform,alternatively referred to herein as an “AV Automated Platform” or“AVAP”, is a technology-based solution that can be automated in whole orin part, operating in substantially real time to assist one or more AVto analyze, evaluate and secure one or more preferred conveyance servicerequest.

The inventive AVAP continuously analyzes one or more conveyance servicerequests in substantially real time in order to identify and securepreferred conveyance service request(s) based on a selected preferenceand the geographical location of the AV(s). After securing a firstpreferred conveyance service request, the AV(s) can perform a conveyanceservice and the AVAP can automatically and continuously repeat theprocess of analyzing or evaluating to secure an additional preferredconveyance service request until the process is stopped by an AVowner/controller, or until the AV(s) performs the final conveyanceservice among the outstanding service requests.

The inventive AVAP provides improved efficiency in analyzing orevaluating conveyance service requests by continuously, in substantiallyreal time, identifying and securing a preferred conveyance servicerequest and a subsequent or additional preferred conveyance servicerequest for an AV. The AVAP can be updated in substantially real timewith an incoming conveyance service request to be continuously analyzedor evaluated and can then secure a subsequent or additional preferredconveyance service request. The AVAP can continuously analyze orevaluate a conveyance service request in substantially real time andsecure a preferred conveyance service request while an AV performs aconveyance service.

As a result, an AV, an AV owner/controller, a service provider, a goodsupplier, a fleet manager, a logistics provider, a logistics supplier,or a combination thereof, can operate more efficiently and canpotentially perform an additional conveyance service to increase earningpotential. A proposal or recommendation from the AVAP of a differentconveyance service request can improve efficiency relating to an AV, aservice provider, an AV owner/controller, a good supplier, a fleetmanager, a logistics provider, a logistics supplier, or a combinationthereof, and solve a problem relating to a vehicle routing problem or avehicle dispatch problem. The AVAP of the present invention can solve aproblem in existing approaches by identifying, securing, or obtaining asubsequent or additional preferred conveyance service request, andperforming a conveyance service more efficiently by continuouslyanalyzing or evaluating a conveyance service request in substantiallyreal time. This improved efficiency can allow a service provider, an AVowner/controller, a good supplier, a fleet manager, a logisticsprovider, a logistics supplier, or a combination thereof, tostrategically place or dispatch an AV based on a selected preference anda substantially real time geographical location of an AV. A benefit ofthe inventive AVAP can address a problem relating to a vehicle routingproblem, a vehicle dispatch problem, or a combination thereof, relatingto a conveyance industry segment.

The AVAP improves earning potential for an AV owner/controller by takingadvantage of the availability of an extra seat within an AV forresponding to an additional conveyance service request.

When the inventive AVAP is automated in part, it can perform a processto identify a preferred conveyance service request relating to aselected preference and an AV owner/controller can simply accept ordecline. In this example, a pop-up or notification of a preferredconveyance service request can be displayed on an owner/controllerapplication for an AV owner/controller to accept or decline. Ifdeclined, a next preferred conveyance service request can be displayeduntil a preferred conveyance service request is accepted, declined, orthe AV owner/controller turns off the AVAP. The AVAP's ability toanalyze or evaluate continuously in substantially real time and displaya preferred conveyance service request, allows an AV, an AVowner/controller, a service provider, a good supplier, a fleet manager,a logistics provider, a logistics supplier, or a combination thereof, towork more efficiently.

The AVAP enables improved decision making for the AV owner/controller,an AV, a service provider, a good supplier, a fleet manager, a logisticsprovider, a logistics supplier, or a combination thereof, in asubstantially real time conveyance industry segment. The AVAP cancontinuously analyze or evaluate conveyance service requests insubstantially real time whereas current practices are typically limitedto presenting only the next available service request within thesequence, and usually only when the AV is close to completing servicesrelated to the previously-accepted conveyance service request.

Such limitations can decrease the AV owner/controller's decision-makingability, not allow the AV owner/controller to apply a selectedpreference and/or can reduce opportunities for securing the mostpreferred conveyance service request available at a given time. The AVAPcan identify a preferred conveyance service request that an AVowner/controller, a service provider, a good supplier, a fleet manager,a logistics provider, a logistics supplier, or a combination thereof,might miss under the current practices. The AVAP can secure a subsequentor additional preferred conveyance service request while an AV isperforming a conveyance service. Due to the current state of the art, anAV owner/controller, a service provider, a good supplier, a fleetmanager, a logistics provider, a logistics supplier, or a combinationthereof, might miss securing a subsequent or additional preferredconveyance service request because the AV owner/controller, serviceprovider, good supplier, fleet manager, logistics provider, logisticssupplier, or a combination thereof, is limited as to how and when aconveyance service request can be secured.

With the inventive AVAP, by using continuous and improved substantiallyreal time analysis or evaluation instead of a one-time analysis orevaluation, a decision making process can be improved, and a preferredconveyance service request can be secured or obtained. A benefit of animproved decision making process of the present invention can alsoaddress a problem relating to a vehicle routing problem, a vehicledispatch problem, or a combination thereof, relating to a conveyanceindustry segment.

Currently, there is a shortage of a representative in a conveyanceindustry segment. The AVAP can assist a service provider, an AVowner/controller, a good supplier, a fleet manager, a logisticsprovider, a logistics supplier, or a combination thereof, insupplementing a shortage of a representative to provide an additionalconveyance service, which can increase profitability for a serviceprovider, an AV owner/controller, a good supplier, a fleet manager, alogistics provider, a logistics supplier, or a combination thereof, anddecrease waiting times for a conveyance client. The AVAP can allow an AVowner/controller, a service provider, a good supplier, a fleet manager,a logistics provider, a logistics supplier, or a combination thereof, tosupplement the lack of a representative with an AV to help fulfill anadditional conveyance service request.

The AVAP facilitates provision of improved quality of service for aconveyance client. Currently, there are problems with quality of servicerelating to a representative. The present invention can improve andmitigate challenges associated with quality of service within theconveyance industry.

The inventive AVAP improves the process of managing or controlling an AVor a fleet of AVs in substantially real time relating to a fleetmanager, a service provider, a good supplier, an AV owner/controller, alogistics provider, or a logistics supplier. The AVAP can manage orcontrol an AV from a single vehicle perspective, a fleet perspective, anindependent third party perspective, or a combination thereof.

The inventive AVAP can benefit a fleet manager, a service provider, agood supplier, An AV owner/controller, a logistics provider, or alogistics supplier by integrating or implementing software, hardware,logistics, or a combination thereof, by optimizing vehicle utilizationin substantially real time. The AVAP can integrate or implementsoftware, hardware, logistics, or a combination thereof, for or with afleet manager, a service provider, a good supplier, An AVowner/controller, a logistics provider, or a logistics supplier. TheAVAP can integrate or implement software, hardware, logistics, or acombination thereof, for or with a fleet manager, a service provider, agood supplier, an AV owner/controller, a logistics provider, or alogistics supplier to facilitate a conveyance service in substantiallyreal time between an AV and a conveyance client. A fleet manager, aservice provider, a good supplier, an AV owner/controller, a logisticsprovider, or a logistics supplier can employ or utilize the AVAP tooptimize vehicle utilization, which can result in more affordableservices and can improve consumer sentiment among conveyance clients.

The inventive AVAP can benefit a fleet manager, a service provider, agood supplier, an AV owner/controller, a logistics provider, or alogistics supplier by allowing a third party to control or operate an AVto perform a conveyance service. Conversely, the AVAP can benefit athird party by having a fleet manager, a service provider, a goodsupplier, an AV owner/controller, a logistics provider, or a logisticssupplier control or operate an AV to perform a conveyance service.

The inventive approach provides improved ability for a representative tointeract with others including a conveyance client, a good supplier, aservice provider, an AV owner/controller, a good supplier, a fleetmanager, a logistics provider, a logistics supplier, or a combinationthereof, or a combination thereof, due to increased insight or knowledgerelating to a conveyance industry segment. The present invention can bea tool for presenting including but not limited to a preferredconveyance service request, a filtered conveyance service request,conveyance data, or a combination thereof, to be analyzed or evaluatedby a representative.

The inventive approach provides a representative greater control orflexibility when analyzing or evaluating and then securing or obtaininga preferred conveyance service request. The representative can set aparameter or a representative preference on how and where arepresentative wants to work, thus providing more control orflexibility. An AV owner/controller can set a parameter or a selectedpreference on how and where to dispatch an AV, thus providing morecontrol or flexibility for an AV owner/controller.

The RAP and/or AVAP provides representative or AV owner/controller witha method of analyzing or evaluating and then securing a preferredconveyance service request in substantially real time. By utilizing asystem and a method that can operate in substantially real time, quantumcomputing, machine learning technology, or a combination thereof, can beincorporated to further improve analysis or evaluation for arepresentative, an AV, an AV owner/controller, a service provider, agood supplier, a fleet manager, a logistics provider, a logisticssupplier, or a combination thereof, to secure a preferred conveyanceservice request.

The inventive RAP and/or AVAP allow a larger number of a conveyanceservice request available to be analyzed or evaluated by arepresentative, an AV owner/controller, an AV, a service provider, agood supplier, a fleet manager, a logistics provider, a logisticssupplier, or a combination thereof. The larger number of conveyanceservice requests that a representative, an AV owner/controller, an AV, aservice provider, a good supplier, a fleet manager, a logisticsprovider, a logistics supplier, or a combination thereof, has exposureto, the greater the chance of identifying preferred conveyance servicerequests to secure given a representative preference or a selectedpreference.

The inventive platform allows a representative to input or provide arepresentative preference to filter a conveyance service request into afiltered conveyance service request and identify a preferred conveyanceservice request from a filtered conveyance service request. Therepresentative can analyze or evaluate a conveyance service request moreefficiently using a representative preference to identify and secure apreferred conveyance service request. An improved process can allow arepresentative to work more efficiently and spend less time onidentifying and securing or obtaining a preferred conveyance servicerequest and more time on providing a conveyance service.

The inventive platform allows an AV owner/controller to input or providea selected preference to filter a conveyance service request into afiltered conveyance service request and identify a preferred conveyanceservice request from a filtered conveyance service request. An AV, an AVowner/controller, or a combination thereof, can analyze or evaluate aconveyance service request more efficiently by using a selectedpreference to identify and secure a preferred conveyance servicerequest. The improved process increases efficiency and saves times thatwas previously required for identifying and securing a preferredconveyance service request.

The RAP allows a representative to increase their earning potential whensecuring or obtaining a preferred conveyance service request relating toa representative preference. The representative is able to input orprovide a representative preference to identify and secure a preferredconveyance service request. The improved process allows a representativeto enhance earnings by, for example, securing preferred conveyanceservice requests that meet elevated pricing preferences, or shorterdistance preferences to allow operation within an elevated pricing area.The increased benefit of higher earning potential extends to an AV, anAV owner/controller, a service provider, a good supplier, a fleetmanager, a logistics provider, a logistics supplier, or a combinationthereof.

Additional benefits of the inventive platform include ability of arepresentative or an AV to concurrently operate for or contract withmultiple different service providers, good suppliers, fleet managers,logistics providers, logistics suppliers, or combinations thereof.

Example 2: Representative Automated Platform

A second aspect of the inventive scheme includes a substantially realtime method to assist a representative in securing a preferredconveyance service request relating to a representative preference usingthe RAP.

FIG. 3 provides a flowchart of steps of an exemplary method in which arepresentative 2 can benefit from the present invention. The flowchartshows one approach of how a RAP 13, automated in whole or in part, canassist a representative 2 in analyzing or evaluating and then securingor obtaining a preferred conveyance service request 17. A RAP 13,automated in whole or in part, after securing or obtaining a preferredconveyance service request 17, can continuously analyze or evaluateconveyance service requests 15 in substantially real time and thensecure a subsequent or additional preferred conveyance service request17 while a representative 2 is performing a conveyance service. A linkcan be a connection or an association with a software function or asoftware component relating to an application 6, a terminal 7, a centralserver 9, an external server 10, or a combination thereof.

Referring to FIG. 3 , in this embodiment, the following steps can befollowing in the order indicated or can be performed in a differentorder:

-   -   Step 31. A conveyance service request can be transmitted from an        external server to a central server continuously in        substantially real time by way of a link    -   Step 32. A conveyance service request can be stored,        standardized, aggregated, or a combination thereof, at least        once on a central server    -   Step 33. A representative can use a terminal to access an        application.    -   Step 34. A representative can optionally be authenticated.    -   Step 35. A representative can input or provide a representative        preference into an application.    -   Step 36. A representative preference and a substantially real        time geographical location of a representative can be        transmitted from an application to a central server by way of a        link.    -   Step 37. A conveyance service request can be filtered by a        central server using a representative preference and a        substantially real time geographical location of a        representative into a filtered conveyance service request.    -   Step 38. A filtered conveyance service request can be sorted in        an order relating to a weighted average of a representative        preference to identify a preferred conveyance service request.    -   Step 39. A preferred conveyance service request can be        identified by a central server as a filtered conveyance service        request that has the highest weighted average from a filtered        conveyance service request.    -   Step 40. A preferred conveyance service request can be        transmitted from a central server to an application by way of a        link. Additional operations within this step include that the        application can, for example, display a pop-up with details such        as price and a service provider of a preferred conveyance        service request. A representative can decline a preferred        conveyance service request. A new or different preferred        conveyance service request can be identified by a central server        and the application can display anew or different pop-up with        details, such as price and a service provider of a new or        different preferred conveyance service request. The        representative can accept a new or different preferred        conveyance service request, and the central server can secure an        accepted preferred conveyance service request.    -   Step 41. A secured or obtained preferred conveyance service        request can be transmitted from a central server to an        application by way of a link.    -   Step 42. A representative can perform a conveyance service        relating to a secured or obtained preferred conveyance service        request and a substantially real time geographical location of a        representative can update or change, while a Representative        Automated Platform can analyze or evaluate a conveyance service        request continuously in substantially real time, and then can        secure a subsequent or additional preferred conveyance service        request, until stopped by a representative

This example can be applied to any conveyance of goods or services andmay involve more than one conveyance industry segment. In this example,representative 2 can be a driver; a conveyance client 1 can be apassenger or recipient of a conveyance service, and preferred conveyanceservice requests 17 can be a delivery service request, a ride servicerequest, and a food delivery service request.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 , representative 2 uses the inventiveRAP 13 to secure five preferred conveyance service requests 17.Representative 2 can provide conveyance services based on guidanceprovided by the RAP 13. Individual preferred conveyance service requests17 can be secured or obtained and then completed in any order as laidout by a RAP 13. The RAP 13 can apply representative preferences 18 toenable only preferred conveyance service requests 17 to be accepted. Acentral server 9 can continuously receive conveyance service requests 15from more than one external server 10 by way of a link 8 insubstantially real time and can store, standardize, aggregate, andfilter conveyance service requests 15 in substantially real time. Acentral server 9 can sort filtered conveyance service requests 16 insubstantially real time, or use another technique, to identify preferredconveyance service requests 17. A representative 2 can access anapplication 6 using a terminal 7 to gain knowledge of more than oneconveyance industry segment, for example.

Once logged into an application 6, representative 2 can input or providerepresentative preferences 18 into an application 6. Representative 2can input or provide two representative preferences 18, an efficiencypreference and a service provider 5 inclusion preference. An efficiencypreference can be, for example, a preference of three or more preferredconveyance service requests 17 within a specific geographical locationthat can be performed at the same time or during the same trip. Aservice provider 5 inclusion preference can be, for example, apreference to include three specific service providers 5 that arepresentative 2 holds accounts with.

Central server 9 can filter out conveyance service requests 15 that donot match or satisfy the two representative preferences 18 for arepresentative 2. Benefits of representative preferences 18 can be toallow a representative 2 to better meet their criteria in providingconveyance services such as but not limited to higher earning potential,better efficiencies, more suitable conveyance service requests 15, or acombination thereof. The two representative preferences 18 for thisexample and the substantially real time geographical location of arepresentative 2 can be transmitted from an application 6 to a centralserver 9 by way of a link 8.

Central server 9 can filter conveyance service requests 15 into filteredconveyance service requests 16 by comparing to, for example, the tworepresentative preferences 18 and the substantially real timegeographical location of a representative 2. The conveyance servicerequests 15 that match the indicated two representative preferences 18can be identified as filtered conveyance service requests 16. Theconveyance service requests 15 that do not match the indicated tworepresentative preferences 18 can be discarded or ignored as not beingfiltered conveyance service requests 16. The filtered conveyance servicerequests 16 can be sorted by a weighted average of, for example, the tworepresentative preferences 18 to identify preferred conveyance servicerequests 17. The representative preferences 18 can be but are notlimited to unequal weights of, for example, 75% efficiency preferenceand, for example, 25% service provider 5 inclusion preference whencalculating a weighted average. A representative 2 can optionally choosefor representative preferences 18 to have equal or unequal weights. Inthis example, a representative 2 can favor an efficiency preference morethan working with specific service providers 5.

The filtered conveyance service requests 16 with a highest weightedaverage can be identified as preferred conveyance service requests 17.For example, a central server 9 can identify preferred conveyanceservice requests 17 from filtered conveyance service requests 16 byusing the highest weighted averages of an efficiency preference andservice provider 5 inclusion preference. Additional conveyance servicerequests 15 can be received and continuously filtered by a centralserver 9 into additional filtered conveyance service requests 16.Additional filtered conveyance service requests 16 can be sorted by acentral server 9 into preferred conveyance service requests 17.

The preferred conveyance service requests 17 in conjunction withcorresponding conveyance data can be transmitted from a central server 9to an application 6 by way of a link 8. An application 6 can, forexample, display a pop-up with details such as but not limited to priceand a service provider 5 of preferred conveyance service requests 17. Arepresentative 2 can analyze or evaluate preferred conveyance servicerequests 17 with corresponding conveyance data and can, for example,decline preferred conveyance service requests 17. New preferredconveyance service requests 17 can be identified by a central server 9and can be, for example, displayed to a representative 2 via anotherpop-up on an application 6. Representative 2 can accept new preferredconveyance service requests 17 and a central server 9 can secure newaccepted preferred conveyance service requests 17 for a representative2. Secured or obtained preferred conveyance service requests 17 can betransmitted from a central server 9 to an application 6 by way of a link8.

An application 6, a central server 9, an external server 10, a terminal7, a link 8, or a combination thereof, can be combined or integrated. Arepresentative 2 can perform a conveyance service and the substantiallyreal time geographical location of a representative 2 can update orchange, while RAP 13 can continuously analyze or evaluate conveyanceservice requests 15 in substantially real time, and then securesubsequent or additional preferred conveyance service requests 17, untilstopped by a representative 2.

In this example, RAP 13 can first secure three preferred conveyanceservice requests 17 relating to an individual good supplier in the gooddelivery industry segment accepted by a representative 2 (servicerequest #1, #2, and #3).

For example, a representative 2 can begin performing the conveyanceservices and can pick up all three good deliveries to be conveyed fromthe good supplier. Before the completion of service requests #1, #2, and#3, RAP 13 can, for example, secure a preferred conveyance servicerequest 17 in the ride-hail industry segment (service request #4).

Representative 2 can begin service request #4 and pick up a conveyanceclient 1 at a beginning service geographical location then drop off aconveyance client 1 at an ending service geographical location tocomplete service request #4. After completion of service request #4, RAP13 can, for example, secure a preferred conveyance service request 17 inthe food delivery industry segment (service request #5).

Representative 2 can begin service request #5 and pick up the requestedfood at the good supplier geographical location then drop off therequested food at an ending service geographical location to completeservice request #5. After completion of service request #5, RAP 13 canindicate to a representative 2 to complete service request #1, forexample.

Representative 2 can drop off a delivery at an ending servicegeographical location to complete service request #1. Next, a RAP 13 canindicate to a representative 2 to complete service request #3, forexample. Representative 2 can drop off a delivery at an ending servicegeographical location to complete service request #3. Lastly, RAP 13 canindicate to a representative 2 to complete service request #2, forexample. Representative 2 can drop off a delivery at an ending servicegeographical location to complete service request #2. A representative 2can then, for example, turn off a RAP 13.

AVAP 14 is not required to secure preferredconveyance service requests 17A, 17B, 17C, 17D, and 17E in anyparticular order because after a first preferred conveyance servicerequest, in this case, 17C, is secured, an AVAP 14 analyzes or evaluatesagain or continuously in substantially real time with updatedinformation prior to securing the next preferred conveyance servicerequest from the remaining requests, e.g., 17A, 17B, 17D and 17E.

A first preferred conveyance service request 17C is secured for AV 3 bythe AVAP 14. AV 3 picks up the first conveyance client 1 at thebeginning service geographical location, displayed as box 17C, andproceeds to the ending service geographical location depicted by thefirst black circle 50 on the route. Prior to completing the firstpreferred conveyance service request 17C, the AVAP 14 continuouslyanalyzes or evaluates and then secures a second preferred conveyanceservice request 17A. AV 3 drops off the first conveyance client 1 at theending service geographical location and proceeds to the beginningservice geographical location for the second preferred conveyanceservice request 17A, displayed as box 17A.

AV 3 picks up the second conveyance client 1 at the beginning servicegeographical location and proceeds to the ending service geographicallocation depicted by the second black circle 51 on the route. Prior tocompleting the second preferred conveyance service request 17A, AVAP 14continuously analyzes and then secures a third preferred conveyanceservice request 17D. AV 3 drops off the second conveyance client 1 atthe ending service geographical location and proceeds to the beginningservice geographical location for the third preferred conveyance servicerequest 17D, displayed as box 17D.

AV 3 picks up the third conveyance client 1 at the beginning servicegeographical location and proceeds to the ending service geographicallocation depicted by the third black circle on the route. Prior tocompleting the third preferred conveyance service request 17D, AVAP 14continuously analyzes and then secures a fourth preferred conveyanceservice request 17E. AV 3 drops off the third conveyance client 1 at theending service geographical location and proceeds to the beginningservice geographical location for the fourth preferred conveyanceservice request 17E, displayed as box 17E.

An autonomous vehicle 3 picks up the fourth conveyance client 1 at thebeginning service geographical location and proceeds to the endingservice geographical location depicted by the fourth black circle 53 onthe route. Prior to completing the fourth preferred conveyance servicerequest 17E, AVAP 14 continuously analyzes and then secures a fifthpreferred conveyance service request 17B. AV 3 drops off the fourthconveyance client 1 at the ending service geographical location andproceeds to the beginning service geographical location for the fifthpreferred conveyance service request 17B, displayed as box 17B.

AV 3 picks up the fifth conveyance client 1 at the beginning servicegeographical location and proceeds to the ending service geographicallocation depicted by the fifth black circle 54 on the route. Anautonomous vehicle 3 drops off the fifth conveyance client 1 at theending service geographical location. After AV 3 completes the fifthpreferred conveyance service request 17B, the AV owner/controller 4turns off AVAP 14 via an owner/controller application 11.

Example 5: AV Automated Platform

FIG. 6 provides a flowchart of steps of an exemplary method in which anAV owner/controller 4 can benefit from the present invention. Theflowchart describes steps of how an AVAP 14, automated in whole or inpart, can assist an autonomous vehicle 3 or an owner or controller of anautonomous vehicle 4 in analyzing or evaluating and then securing orobtaining a preferred conveyance service request 17. An AVAP 14,automated in whole or in part, after securing or obtaining a preferredconveyance service request 17, can continuously analyze or evaluateconveyance service requests 15 in substantially real time and thensecure a subsequent or additional preferred conveyance service request17 while an autonomous vehicle 3 is performing a conveyance service. Alink can be a connection or an association with a software function or asoftware component relating to an application 6, an owner/controllerapplication, a terminal 7, a central server 9, an external server 10, ora combination thereof.

The steps shown in FIG. 6 , can be performed in the order indicated orcan be performed in a different order:

-   -   Step 61. A conveyance service request can be transmitted from an        external server to a central server continuously in        substantially real time by way of a link.    -   Step 62. A conveyance service request can be stored,        standardized, aggregated, or a combination thereof, at least        once on a central server. An AV owner/controller can input or        provide a selected preference into an owner/controller        application.    -   Step 63. An AV can connect to an application via a terminal.    -   Step 64. An AV can optionally be authenticated.    -   Step 65. A selected preference can be transmitted from an        owner/controller application to a central server by way of a        link.    -   Step 66. A substantially real time geographical location of an        AV can be transmitted from an application to a central server by        way of a link    -   Step 67. A conveyance service request can be filtered by a        central server using a selected preference and a substantially        real time geographical location of an AV into a filtered        conveyance service request.    -   Step 68. A filtered conveyance service request can be sorted in        an order relating to a weighted average of a selected preference        to identify a preferred conveyance service request.    -   Step 69. A preferred conveyance service request can be        identified by a central server as a filtered conveyance service        request that has the highest weighted average from a filtered        conveyance service request.    -   Step 70. A central server can secure a preferred conveyance        service request.    -   Step 71. A secured or obtained preferred conveyance service        request can be transmitted from a central server to an        application by way of a link.    -   Step 72. An AV can perform a conveyance service relating to a        secured or obtained preferred conveyance service request and a        substantially real time geographical location of an AV can        update or change, while an AV Automated Platform can analyze or        evaluate a conveyance service request continuously in        substantially real time, and then can secure a subsequent or        additional preferred conveyance service request, until stopped        by An AV owner/controller

While the inventive approach can generally be applied to any conveyanceof goods or services, for purposes of illustration, this example relatesto an individual service provider 5 that owns or controls a fleet ofautonomous vehicles 3 in more than one conveyance industry segment. Eventhough a fleet of AVs 3 can be controlled or operated in a similarfashion, In this example, the focus is on one autonomous vehicle 3 beingcontrolled or operated by a service provider 5. In this example, aconveyance client 1 can be a passenger or recipient of a conveyanceservice, an AV owner/controller 4 can be a service provider 5, andpreferred conveyance service requests 17 can be a courier servicerequest, a ride service request, and a food delivery service request.

An autonomous vehicle 3 can provide conveyance services based onguidance provided by an AVAP 14. Individual preferred conveyance servicerequests 17 can be secured or obtained and then completed in any orderas laid out by AVAP 14. AVAP 14 can apply selected preferences 19 toenable only preferred conveyance service requests 17 to be accepted. Acentral server 9 can continuously receive conveyance service requestsfrom, for example, one external server 10 by way of a link 8 insubstantially real time and can store, standardize, aggregate, andfilter conveyance service requests 15 in substantially real time. Acentral server 9 can sort filtered conveyance service requests 16 insubstantially real time, or use another technique, to identify preferredconveyance service requests 17. An application 6, an owner/controllerapplication 11, a central server 9, an external server 10, a terminal 7,a link 8, or a combination thereof, can be combined or integrated.

An AV owner/controller 4 can input or provide, for example, selectedpreferences 19 into an owner or controller application 11. In thisexample, an AV owner/controller 4 can input or provide two selectedpreferences 19, an industry segment preference and a geographicallocation preference. An industry segment preference can be, for example,that an autonomous vehicle 3 can provide conveyance services in acourier industry segment, ride-hail industry segment, and food deliveryindustry segment. A geographical location preference can be, forexample, that an autonomous vehicle 3 can provide conveyance services ina certain quadrant or geographical area. A service provider 5 cancontrol where an autonomous vehicle 3 can provide conveyance servicesacross a city or place. For example, a central server 9 can filter outconveyance service requests 15 that do not match or satisfy criteria ofthe selected preferences 19 for an AV owner/controller 4.

Benefits of selected preferences 19 can be to allow an owner orcontroller of an autonomous vehicle 4 to better meet their criteria inproviding conveyance services such as but not limited to higher earningpotential, better efficiencies, greater number of conveyance servicesprovided, more suitable conveyance service requests 15, or a combinationthereof. The two selected preferences 19 for this example can betransmitted from an owner or controller application 11 to a centralserver 9 by way of a link 8. The substantially real time geographicallocation of an autonomous vehicle 3 can be transmitted from anapplication 6 to a central server 9 by way of a link 8.

A central server 9 can communicate with an autonomous vehicle 3 by usingan application 6 on a terminal 7 associated with an autonomous vehicle3. An autonomous vehicle 3 can connect to an application 6 via aterminal 7 and can be authenticated.

A central server 9 can filter conveyance service requests 15 intofiltered conveyance service requests 16 by comparing to, for example,the two selected preferences 19 and the substantially real timegeographical location of an autonomous vehicle 3. The conveyance servicerequests 15 that match the indicated two selected preferences 19 can beidentified as filtered conveyance service requests 16. The conveyanceservice requests that do not match the indicated two selectedpreferences 19 can be discarded or ignored as not being filteredconveyance service requests 16. The filtered conveyance service requests16 can be sorted by a weighted average of, for example, the two selectedpreferences 19 to identify preferred conveyance service requests 17. Anowner or controller of an autonomous vehicle 4 can optionally choose forselected preferences 19 to have equal or unequal weights. The selectedpreferences 19 can be but are not limited to equal weights, for example,of 50% when calculating a weighted average.

The selected preferences 19 chosen by an AV owner/controller 4 canoptionally be given unequal weights, for example but not limited to 70%and 30%. In this non-limiting specific example, an industry segmentpreference can be given a weight of 70% and can be set to include theride-hail industry, courier industry, and food delivery industry by anAV owner/controller 4. The filtered conveyance service requests 16 inthe ride-hail industry, courier industry, or food delivery industry canbe assigned a score of 10 out of by a central server 9. The filteredconveyance service requests 16 not in the ride-hail industry, courierindustry, or food delivery industry can be assigned a score of 0 out of10 by a central server 9. A geographical location preference can begiven a weight of 30% and can be set by an AV owner/controller 4 toinclude filtered conveyance service requests 16 within an area or aperimeter of five miles from the substantially real time geographicallocation of an autonomous vehicle 3. The filtered conveyance servicerequests 16 within one mile from the substantially real timegeographical location of an autonomous vehicle 3 can be assigned a scoreof 10 out of 10 by a central server 9. The filtered conveyance servicerequests 16 within two miles from the substantially real timegeographical location of an autonomous vehicle 3 can be assigned a scoreof 8 out of 10 by a central server 9. The filtered conveyance servicerequests 16 within three miles from the substantially real timegeographical location of an autonomous vehicle 3 can be assigned a scoreof 6 out of by a central server 9. The filtered conveyance servicerequests 16 within four miles from the substantially real timegeographical location of an autonomous vehicle 3 can be assigned a scoreof 4 out of 10 by a central server 9. The filtered conveyance servicerequests 16 within five miles from the substantially real timegeographical location of an autonomous vehicle 3 can be assigned a scoreof 2 out of 10 by a central server 9. The filtered conveyance servicerequests 16 more than five miles away from the substantially real timegeographical location of an autonomous vehicle 3 can be assigned a scoreof 0 out of 10 by a central server 9. For example, a filtered conveyanceservice request 16 in the ride-hail industry within three miles from thesubstantially real time geographical location of an autonomous vehicle 3can be calculated or determined by a central server 9 as having aweighted average of (70% of 10) plus (30% of 6) that can equal 8.8 basedon an industry segment preference and a geographical locationpreference. A filtered conveyance service request 16 with the highestweighted average of 8.8 in this instance can be identified as apreferred conveyance service request 17 in comparison to other filteredconveyance service requests 16 with lower weighted averages.

A filtered conveyance service request 16 with the highest weightedaverage can be identified as a preferred conveyance service request 17.For example, a central server 9 can identify a preferred conveyanceservice request 17 from filtered conveyance service requests 16 by usingthe highest weighted average of an industry segment preference and ageographical location preference. Additional conveyance service requests15 can be received and continuously filtered by a central server 9 intoadditional filtered conveyance service requests 16. Additional filteredconveyance service requests 16 can be sorted by a central server 9 intopreferred conveyance service requests 17 when appropriate.

A central server 9 can secure a preferred conveyance service request 17for an autonomous vehicle 3. A secured or obtained preferred conveyanceservice request 17 can be transmitted from a central server 9 to anapplication 6 in an autonomous vehicle 3 by way of a link 8.

An AV 3 can perform a conveyance service and the substantially real timegeographical location of an autonomous vehicle 3 can update or change,while an Autonomous Vehicle Automated Platform 14 can analyze orevaluate conveyance service requests 15 continuously in substantiallyreal time, and then secure subsequent or additional preferred conveyanceservice requests 17, until stopped by an AV owner/controller 4.

In this example, AVAP 14 can be used by an AV 3 to secure, for example,three preferred conveyance service requests 17. AV 3 can perform orprovide conveyance services based on guidance provided by AVAP 14.Individual preferred conveyance service requests 17 can be secured orobtain and then completed in any order as laid out by AVAP 14. In thisexample, AVAP 14 can first accept a preferred conveyance service request17 in the courier industry segment (service request #1).

For example, AV 3 can begin the conveyance service and can pick up apackage to be conveyed. A package can be placed in an autonomous vehicle3. Before the completion of service request #1, AVAP 14 can, forexample, secure an additional preferred conveyance service request 17 inthe ride-hail industry segment (service request #2).

AV 3 can begin service request #2 and pick up a conveyance client 1 at abeginning service geographical location then drop off a conveyanceclient 1 at an ending service geographical location to complete servicerequest #2. After completion of service request #2, AVAP 14 can, forexample, secure an additional preferred conveyance service request 17 inthe food delivery industry (service request #3).

AV 3 can begin service request #3 and the food to be delivered can beplaced in an AV 3 at a good supplier geographical location. An AV 3 candrop off the food delivery at an ending service geographical location tocomplete service request #3, for example. After completion of servicerequest #3 AVAP 14 can, for example, indicate to an AV 3 to completeservice request #1. An AV 3 can drop off the package at an endingservice geographical location to complete service request #1, forexample. An AV owner/controller 4 can then, for example, turn off AVAP14.

Example 6: Representative Automated Platform

The following example provides an exemplary use of the RAP by arepresentative.

FIG. 7 provides a flowchart of the transformation of a conveyanceservice request into a preferred conveyance service request 17. Once acentral server 9 receives a conveyance service request 15 from anexternal server 10, a central server 9 can filter a conveyance servicerequest 15 using a representative preference 18 or a selected preference19 and the substantially real time geographical location of arepresentative 2 or an AV 3 into a filtered conveyance service request16. A central server 9 can calculate the weighted average of arepresentative preference 18 or a selected preference 19. A centralserver 9 can sort a filtered conveyance service request 16 in an orderrelating to the corresponding weighted averages to identify a preferredconveyance service request 17. A preferred conveyance service request 17can be identified by a central server 9 as a filtered conveyance servicerequest 16 that has the highest weighted average from a filteredconveyance service request 16. Not every conveyance service request 15can become a filtered conveyance service request 16 and not everyfiltered conveyance service request 16 can become a preferred conveyanceservice request 17. A central server 9 can be used by a RAP 13 toanalyze and identify a preferred conveyance service request 17. Acentral server 9 can be used by an Autonomous Vehicle Automated Platform14 to analyze and identify a preferred conveyance service request 17. Afunction of a central server 9 or a function of an external server 10can be performed by an application 6, an owner or controller application11, or a combination thereof. All or some of conveyance data relating toan AV 3 can be filtered and can be identified as preferred in a same ora similar process to filter and identify a conveyance service request 15into a preferred conveyance service request 17. A link can be aconnection or an association with a software function or a softwarecomponent relating to an application 6, an owner/controller application,a terminal 7, a central server 9, an external server 10, or acombination thereof.

The present example illustrates how conveyance service requests 15 canbecome filtered conveyance service requests 16 and then a preferredconveyance service request 17. In this example, a representative 2 canbe a driver, a conveyance client 1 can be a passenger or recipient of aconveyance service, and a preferred conveyance service request 17 can bea ride service request. In this example, a representative 2 can use aRAP 13 to secure a preferred conveyance service request 17.

A central server 9 can receive conveyance service requests 15 from anexternal server 10 continuously or repeatedly in substantially realtime. A central server 9 can store, standardize, aggregate, or acombination thereof, conveyance service requests 15 in any order. Arepresentative 2 can input or provide two representative preferences 18,the substantially real time geographical location of a representative,or a combination thereof, to a central server 9.

A central server 9 can compare conveyance service requests 15 to thesubstantially real time geographical location of a representative 2 anddiscard or ignore conveyance service requests 15 being further than 10miles perimeter. A subset of conveyance service requests 15 within 10miles perimeter that also match or satisfy an industry segmentpreference can be identified as filtered conveyance service requests 16.

In this non-limiting specific example, an industry segment preferencecan be given a weight of 40% and can be set to include only theride-hail industry segment by a representative 2. The filteredconveyance service requests 16 in a ride-hail industry segment can beassigned a score of 10 out of 10 by a central server 9. The filteredconveyance service requests 16 not in a ride-hail industry segment canbe assigned a score of 0 out of 10 by a central server 9.

A pricing preference can be given a weight of 60% and can be set by arepresentative 2 to include filtered conveyance service requests 16 withat least $10.00 revenue per conveyance service performed.

The filtered conveyance service requests 16 with less than $10.00revenue can be assigned a score of 0 out of 10 by a central server 9.The filtered conveyance service requests 16 with pricing being$10.00-$14.99 revenue can be assigned a score of 4 out of by a centralserver 9. The filtered conveyance service requests 16 with pricing being$15.00-$19.99 revenue can be assigned a score of 7 out of 10 by acentral server 9. The filtered conveyance service requests 16 withpricing of $20.00 or more in revenue can be assigned a score of 10 outof 10 by a central server 9.

For example, a filtered conveyance service request 16 in a ride-hailindustry segment with pricing being $17.00 can be calculated ordetermined by a central server 9 as having a weighted average of (40% of10) plus (60% of 7) that can equal 8.2 based on an industry segmentpreference and a pricing preference. A filtered conveyance servicerequest 16 can be sorted in an ascending order relating to a weightedaverage of 8.2 in this instance and can be identified as a preferredconveyance service request 17 in comparison to other filtered conveyanceservice requests 16 with lower weighted averages.

A RAP 13 can secure a preferred conveyance service request 17 in aride-hail industry segment with pricing being $17.00. A representative 2can perform a conveyance service and the substantially real timegeographical location of a representative 2 can update or change, whilea RAP 13 can continuously analyze or evaluate conveyance servicerequests 15 in substantially real time, and then secure a subsequent oradditional preferred conveyance service request 17, until stopped by arepresentative 2. A function of a central server 9 or an external server10 can be performed by an application 6.

All or some of conveyance data relating to an AV 3 can be filtered andcan be identified as preferred in a same or a similar process to filterand identify a conveyance service request 15 into a preferred conveyanceservice request 17. An application 6, a central server 9, an externalserver 10, a terminal 7, a link, or a combination thereof, can becombined or integrated.

Example 7: AV Automated Platform

FIGS. 5 and 7 illustrate how conveyance service requests 15 can becomefiltered conveyance service requests 16 and then a preferred conveyanceservice request 17. While the present example can be applied to anyconveyance of goods or services, for purposes of illustration describesa food delivery industry segment. Here, a conveyance client 1 can be aperson that can order food, an autonomous vehicle 3 can perform aconveyance service, an owner or controller of an autonomous vehicle 4can be a private owner of an autonomous vehicle 3, and a preferredconveyance service request 17 can be a food delivery service request.

A central server 9 can receive conveyance service requests 15 fromexternal servers continuously or repeatedly in substantially real timeand can pre-categorize conveyance service requests 15 by zip code. Acentral server 9 can store, standardize, aggregate, or a combinationthereof, conveyance service requests 15 in any order. An owner orcontroller of an autonomous vehicle 4 can input or provide one selectedpreference 19 to a central server 9. The substantially real timegeographical location of an autonomous vehicle 3 can be transmitted froman application 6 to a central server 9 by way of a link 8.

A central server 9 can compare pre-categorized conveyance servicerequests 15 to the substantially real time geographical location of anautonomous vehicle 3 and discard or ignore conveyance service requests15 that are, for example, in the different zip code associated withanother autonomous vehicle 3. A subset of conveyance service requestswithin the zip code area of an autonomous vehicle 3 that also matches orsatisfies an estimated time of arrival preference can be identified asfiltered conveyance service requests 16.

In this non-limiting specific example, an estimated time of arrivalpreference can be given a weight of 100% and can be set by an owner orcontroller of an autonomous vehicle 4 to less than twenty minutes froman autonomous vehicle 3. The filtered conveyance service requests 16with an estimated time of arrival of more than twenty minutes can beassigned a score of 10 out of 10 by a central server 9. The filteredconveyance service requests 16 with an estimated time of arrival of lessthan or equal to twenty minutes can be assigned a score of 0.5 perminute by a central server 9. For example, a filtered conveyance servicerequest 16 with an estimated time of arrival of fourteen minutes can beassigned a score of 7 out of 10 or a filtered conveyance service request16 with an estimated time of arrival of six minutes can be assigned ascore of 3 out of 10.

For example, a filtered conveyance service request 16 in a food deliveryindustry segment with an estimated time of arrival of four minutes canbe calculated or determined by a central server 9 as having a weightedaverage of (100% of 2) that can equal 2 based on an estimated time ofarrival preference. A minimum function can be utilized to identify afiltered conveyance service request 16 having the lowest weightedaverage in comparison to other filtered conveyance service requests 16with higher weighted averages as a preferred conveyance service request17.

An application 6, an owner/controller application 11, a central server9, an external server 10, a terminal 7, a link, an AV 3, or acombination thereof, can be combined or integrated.

Example 8: AV Automated Platform

FIG. 9 provides a flowchart of the process for identifying ordesignating an AV 3 as “preferred”. The flowchart can be used to displaythe transformation of all or some of conveyance data relating an AV 3into all or some of preferred conveyance data relating an AV 3, an AV 3that can be identified as preferred, or a combination thereof. The leftcolumn can represent all or some of conveyance data relating to AV 3, anAV 3, or a combination thereof. The middle column can represent all orsome of filtered conveyance data relating an AV 3, an AV 3 that can befiltered, or a combination thereof. The right column can represent allor some of preferred conveyance data relating to AV 3, an AV 3 that canbe identified as preferred, or a combination thereof.

Once a central server 9 receives a conveyance service request 15 withcorresponding conveyance data, an AV 3 with corresponding conveyancedata, all or some of conveyance data relating to AV 3, a substantiallyreal time geographical location of an AV 3, or a combination thereof,from an external server 10, a central server 9 can filter all or some ofconveyance data relating an AV 3 using a selected preference 19 and thesubstantially real time geographical location of an AV 3 into all orsome of filtered conveyance data relating to AV 3. A central server 9can calculate the weighted average of a selected preference 19. Acentral server 9 can sort all or some of filtered conveyance datarelating an AV 3 in an order relating to the corresponding weightedaverages to identify an AV 3 that can be identified as preferred, all orsome of preferred conveyance data relating an AV 3, or a combinationthereof.

All or some of preferred conveyance data relating to AV 3 can beidentified by a central server 9 as all or some of filtered conveyancedata relating to AV 3 that can have the highest weighted average fromall or some of filtered conveyance data relating to AV 3. An AV 3 thatcan be identified as preferred can be identified by a central server 9as all or some of filtered conveyance data relating to AV 3 that canhave the highest weighted average from all or some of filteredconveyance data relating to AV 3. Not all or some of conveyance datarelating an AV 3 can become all or some of filtered conveyance datarelating an AV 3 and not all or some of filtered conveyance datarelating an AV 3 can become all or some of preferred conveyance datarelating an AV 3, an AV 3 that can be identified as preferred, or acombination thereof. Not every AV 3 can become an AV 3 that can befiltered and not every AV 3 that can be filtered can become an AV 3 thatcan be identified as preferred.

A central server 9 can be used by a RAP 13 to analyze and identify an AV3 that can be identified as preferred, all or some of preferredconveyance data relating an AV 3, or a combination thereof. A centralserver 9 can be used by an Autonomous Vehicle Automated Platform toanalyze and identify an AV 3 that can be identified as preferred, all orsome of preferred conveyance data relating an AV 3, or a combinationthereof. A function of a central server 9 or a function of an externalserver 10 can be performed by an application 6, an owner or controllerapplication 11, an external server 10, or a combination thereof. All orsome of conveyance data relating to an AV 3 can be filtered and can beidentified as preferred in a same or a similar process to filter andidentify a conveyance service request 15 into a preferred conveyanceservice request 17. A link can be a connection or an association with asoftware function or a software component relating to an application 6,an owner/controller application, a terminal 7, a central server 9, anexternal server 10, or a combination thereof.

This example refers generally to FIGS. 4, 5, and 9-12 . An individualfleet manager that owns or controls a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3 ina conveyance industry segment can employ the inventive AVAP to avoiddelays in delivering conveyance services to a conveyance client 1. Inthis example, an AVAP can be used by an owner or controller of anautonomous vehicle 4 or a fleet manager to control or operate a fleet ofthree autonomous vehicles 3A, 3B, and 3C to perform or service all ormost conveyance service requests 15. In this example, conveyance clients1A, 1B, and 1C can be passengers or recipients of the conveyanceservices, an owner or controller of an autonomous vehicle 4 can be afleet manager, conveyance service requests 15A, 15B, and 15C cancorrespond to each respective conveyance client 1A, 1B, and 1C, and apreferred conveyance service request 17C can be the oldest outstandingride service request. In this example, an owner or controller of anautonomous vehicle 4 or a fleet manager can utilize an AutonomousVehicle Automated Platform to identify the oldest outstanding conveyanceservice request 15C as the preferred conveyance service request 17C thatneeds to be fulfilled or performed as soon as possible by an autonomousvehicle 3 to maintain good consumer sentiment.

An autonomous vehicle 3 can provide conveyance services based onguidance provided by an Autonomous Vehicle Automated Platform. AnAutonomous Vehicle Automated Platform can optimize fleet performance andcan control or operate a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3A, 3B, and 3C inan efficient manner and maintain good consumer sentiment. In thisexample, an owner or controller of an autonomous vehicle 4 or a fleetmanager can use the selected preferences 19 to identify a preferredconveyance service request 17C, as being the oldest outstanding riderequest, for or with an autonomous vehicle 3B that can be identified aspreferred. In this example, an Autonomous Vehicle Automated Platform cansingle out or identify the oldest outstanding conveyance service request15C as being a preferred conveyance service request 17C. An application6, an owner/controller application 11, a central server 9, an externalserver 10, a terminal 7, a link 8, an AV 3, or a combination thereof,can be combined or integrated.

A central server 9 can receive conveyance service requests 15A, 15B, and15C with corresponding conveyance data, a fleet of autonomous vehicles3A, 3B, and 3C with corresponding conveyance data, a substantially realtime geographical location of a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3A, 3B, and3C, or a combination thereof, from, for example, two external servers 10by way of a link 8 in substantially real time. The substantially realtime geographical location of a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3A, 3B, and3C can optionally be transmitted from an application 6 through anexternal server 10 to a central server 9 by way of a link 8. A centralserver 9 can store, standardize, aggregate, or a combination thereof,conveyance service requests 15A, 15B, and 15C, conveyance datacorresponding to a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3A, 3B, and 3C, asubstantially real time geographical location of a fleet of autonomousvehicles 3A, 3B, and 3C, or a combination thereof, in substantially realtime. Conveyance service requests 15A, 15B, and 15C can be sent ortransmitted from an external server 10 and can be received on a centralserver 9. A central server 9 can store conveyance service requests 15A,15B, and 15C in a database and can organize the conveyance servicerequests 15 in a first database table. In this example, all or some ofthe conveyance service requests 15 can be stored in a first databasetable along with exact or specific timestamp of creation. A centralserver 9 can also store, organize, and analyze conveyance datacorresponding to a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3A, 3B, and 3C, asubstantially real time geographical location of a fleet of autonomousvehicles 3A, 3B, and 3C, or a combination thereof in a database in asecond database table.

An AV owner/controller 4 or a fleet manager can input or provide theselected preferences 19 into an owner or controller application 11,being a website. The selected preferences 19 In this example can betransmitted from an owner or controller application 11, being a website,to a central server 9 by way of a link 8. In this example, an AVowner/controller 4 or a fleet manager can input or provide threeselected preferences 19 total and can apply a selected preference 19 toeach database table. In this example, the three selected preferences 19can be an industry segment preference, a distance preference, and anoldest outstanding request preference. In this example, an industrysegment preference can be a ride-hail industry segment, a distancepreference can identify an autonomous vehicle 3 within a 1 mileperimeter, and an oldest outstanding request preference can identify theoldest outstanding conveyance service request 15 based on the exact orspecific timestamp of creation. An AV owner/controller 4 or a fleetmanager can utilize any combination of the three selected preferences 19when filtering and identifying a preferred conveyance service request17, an autonomous vehicle 3 that can be identified as preferred, or acombination thereof.

As a result of executing a database query, conveyance service requests15A, 15B, and 15C organized in a first database table can be filteredinto a result set of filtered conveyance service requests 16A and 16C bya central server 9. In this non-limiting operation, an industry segmentpreference, for example, a ride-hail industry segment preference can beapplied. Conveyance service requests 15A and 15C being ride-hailconveyance service requests, can match or satisfy the selectedpreference 19 and can become filtered conveyance service requests 16Aand 16C. Conveyance service request 15B can be a food delivery servicerequest, which does not match or satisfy the selected preference 19, andas a result, can get discarded. By applying the oldest outstandingrequest preference, a central server 9 can sort the filtered conveyanceservice requests 16A and 16C in ascending or descending order toidentify the oldest timestamp or date of creation, and as a result, afiltered conveyance service request 16C can be identified as a preferredconveyance service request 17C. As a result of executing a databasequery, all or some of conveyance data relating to a fleet of autonomousvehicles 3A, 3B, and 3C organized in second database table can befiltered into a result set of all or some of filtered conveyance datarelating to autonomous vehicles 3A and 3B by a central server 9. In thisnon-limiting operation, a distance preference, for example, less than 1mile from a preferred conveyance service request 17C can be applied. Allor some of conveyance data relating to a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3Aand 3B representing autonomous vehicles 3A and 3B that are locatedwithin 1 mile perimeter from a preferred conveyance service request 17Ccan match or satisfy the selected preference 19 and can become all orsome of filtered conveyance data relating to a fleet of autonomousvehicles 3A and 3B. All or some of conveyance data relating toautonomous vehicle 3C representing an autonomous vehicle 3C that can belocated further than 1 mile from a preferred conveyance service request17C does not match or satisfy the selected preference 19, and as aresult, can get discarded.

By sorting the remaining all or some of filtered conveyance datarelating to a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3A and 3B according to theirphysical distance from a preferred conveyance service request 17C, acentral server 9, can identify all or some of preferred conveyance datarelating to an autonomous vehicle 3B or all or some of preferredconveyance data relating to an autonomous vehicle 3B that can beidentified as preferred as being within the closest physical distancefrom a preferred conveyance service request 17C.

After identifying a match between a preferred conveyance service request17C and an autonomous vehicle 3B that can be identified as preferred, afleet manager can utilize an Autonomous Vehicle Automated Platform thatcan automatically secure a preferred conveyance service request 17C foror with an autonomous vehicle 3B and can improve the efficiency andperformance of a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3A, 3B, and 3C. In thisnon limiting example, a fleet manager can maintain good consumersentiment as the oldest outstanding conveyance service request 15C canbe identified as a preferred conveyance service request 17C and can besecured or obtained for or with an autonomous vehicle 3B that can beidentified as preferred to be serviced or performed as soon as possible.

Example 9: AV Automated Platform

This example provides an example of an implementation of an embodimentof the inventive platform that benefits an AV owner/controller 4 or afleet manager. The exemplary steps, described in a particular order inthe example, are not limited to the exact order described, but can bevaried where appropriate.

Referring to FIGS. 4, 5, and 9-12 , AVAP 14 can be used by a fleetmanager to control or operate a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3 in morethan one conveyance industry segment. The focus here is on twoautonomous vehicles 3A and 3B within a fleet that is controlled by afleet manager. AV 3A operates in a ride-hail industry segment and AV 3Boperates in a food delivery industry segment that can be operated orcontrolled by the same fleet manager or same owner or controller of anautonomous vehicle 4. Conveyance client 1 can be a passenger orrecipient of a conveyance service, an owner or controller of anautonomous vehicle 4 can be a fleet manager, and preferred conveyanceservice requests 17A and 17B can be a ride service request and a fooddelivery service request respectively. In this example, an AutonomousVehicle Automated Platform can identify and secure a preferredconveyance service request 17A for the worst performing autonomousvehicle 3A in the ride-hail industry segment first and then can identifyand secure a preferred conveyance service request 17B for the worstperforming autonomous vehicle 3B in the food delivery industry segment.

An AVAP can optimize fleet performance by controlling or operating afleet of autonomous vehicles 3 in an efficient manner. An AVAP canmanage or control AVs 3 from a single AV 3 perspective, a fleetperspective, an independent third party perspective, or a combinationthereof. An AVAP can monitor and single out or pinpoint an AV 3 that isunderperforming, due to poor operating performance. In this example, anowner or controller of an autonomous vehicle 4 or a fleet manager canenhance an AV's 3 selected preferences 19 to increase a likelihood ofsecuring or obtaining a preferred conveyance service request 17 for anunderperforming AV 3 if so desired. An application 6, anowner/controller application 11, a central server 9, an external server10, a terminal 7, a link 8, an AV 3, or a combination thereof, can becombined or integrated.

A central server 9 can continuously receive conveyance service requests15 with corresponding conveyance data, a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3with corresponding conveyance data, a substantially real timegeographical location of a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3, or acombination thereof, from, for example, one external server 10 by way ofa link 8 in substantially real time. A central server 9 can store,standardize, aggregate, and filter conveyance service requests 15,conveyance data corresponding to a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3, asubstantially real time geographical location of a fleet of autonomousvehicles 3, or a combination thereof, in substantially real time. Thesubstantially real time geographical location of a fleet of AVs 3 can betransmitted from an API on an external server 10 to a central server 9by way of a link 8.

A central server 9 can categorize or pre-categorize a fleet ofautonomous vehicles 3 with corresponding conveyance data in a database.A central server 9 can categorize or pre-categorize conveyance servicerequests 15 with corresponding conveyance data in a database. In thisexample, a central server 9 can categorize or pre-categorize a fleet ofautonomous vehicles 3 with corresponding conveyance data in a databasebased on a substantially real time geographical location of a fleet ofautonomous vehicles 3. AV 3A with corresponding conveyance data,operating in ride-hail industry segment, can be categorized in firstdatabase table and an autonomous vehicle 3B with correspondingconveyance data, operating in food delivery industry segment, can becategorized in second database table. Conveyance service requests 15from all industry segments can be categorized or pre-categorized inthird database table.

A fleet manager can input or provide a selected preference 19 into anowner or controller application 11, being a computer application, thatcan be communicated with or transmitted to a central server 9 or AVAP byway of a link 8. A fleet manager can use or apply two selectedpreferences 19 being a longest idle time preference and a ride hailindustry segment preference to filter and identify an autonomous vehicle3A that can be identified as preferred. A fleet manager can also use orapply a selected preference 19 being a geographical location preferenceor shortest travel time preference to filter and identify a preferredconveyance service request 17A. In this example, an owner or controllerof an autonomous vehicle 4 or a fleet manager can input or providemultiple selected preferences 19 and can apply a selected preference 19to each database. In this example, the AVAP can discover which AV 3 in aride hail industry segment is waiting the longest time withoutperforming a conveyance service.

As a result of executing a database query, all or some of conveyancedata relating to a fleet of AVs 3 organized in first database table canbe filtered into a result set of all or some of filtered conveyance datarelating to a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3 by a central server 9. Allor some of conveyance data relating to a fleet of AVs 3 performingconveyance services in a ride hail industry segment can match or satisfythe selected preference 19 and can become all or some of filteredconveyance data relating to a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3. All orsome of filtered conveyance data relating to a fleet of autonomousvehicles 3 can be sorted by idle time and an autonomous vehicle 3 thatis waiting the longest time without performing a conveyance service canbe identified as the autonomous vehicle 3A that can be identified aspreferred. An autonomous vehicle 3 that does not work or operate in theride-hail industry, can be discarded or ignored and as a result, cannotbecome an autonomous vehicle 3A that can be identified as preferred. Acentral server 9 or fleet manager can filter out autonomous vehicles 3that do not meet or match the two selected preferences 19 and thesubstantially real time geographical location of a fleet of AVs 3. Forexample, if AV 3C operates in only the refrigerated freight industrysegment due to vehicle requirement restrictions, AV 3C can be filteredout of a database result set.

As a result of executing a database query based on a geographicallocation preference, conveyance service requests 15 organized in thirddatabase table can be filtered and sorted by geographical proximity ortravel time from an autonomous vehicle 3A that can be identified aspreferred. The conveyance service requests 15 that do not match aselected preference 19 can be discarded or ignored. The filteredconveyance service request 16 with the shortest travel time to anautonomous vehicle 3A that can be identified as preferred, can beidentified as a preferred conveyance service request 17A by AnAutonomous Vehicle Automated Platform or a central server 9. A preferredconveyance service request 17A can be secured or obtained for or with anautonomous vehicle 3A that can be identified as preferred.

A fleet manager can input or provide a selected preference 19 into anowner or controller application 11, being a computer application, thatcan be communicated with or transmitted to a central server 9 or AVAP byway of a link 8. A fleet manager can use or apply two selectedpreferences 19 being a longest idle time preference and a food deliveryindustry segment preference to filter and identify an autonomous vehicle3B that can be identified as preferred. A fleet manager can also use orapply a selected preference 19 being geographical location preference orshortest travel time preference to filter and identify a preferredconveyance service request 17B. In this example, an AV owner/controller4 or a fleet manager can input or provide multiple selected preferences19 and can apply a selected preference 19 to each database. In thisexample, an AVAP can discover which AV 3 in a food delivery industrysegment is waiting the longest time without performing a conveyanceservice.

As a result of executing a database query, all or some of conveyancedata relating to a fleet of AVs 3 organized in second database table canbe filtered into a result set of all or some of filtered conveyance datarelating to a fleet of AVs 3 by a central server 9. All or some ofconveyance data relating to a fleet of AVs 3 performing conveyanceservices in a food delivery industry segment can match or satisfy aselected preference 19 and can become all or some of filtered conveyancedata relating to a fleet of AVs 3. All or some of filtered conveyancedata relating to a fleet of AVs 3 can be sorted by idle time and anautonomous vehicle 3 that can be waiting the longest time withoutperforming a conveyance service can be identified as an autonomousvehicle 3B that can be identified as preferred. A central server 9 orfleet manager can filter out autonomous vehicles 3 that do not meet ormatch the two selected preferences 19 and the substantially real timegeographical location of a fleet of AVs 3. An AV 3 that does not work oroperate in the food delivery industry, can be discarded or ignored andcannot become an autonomous vehicle 3B that can be identified aspreferred. For example, if autonomous vehicle 3D works or operates inonly the biohazard freight industry due to vehicle requirementrestrictions, autonomous vehicle 3D can be filtered out of a databaseresult set.

As a result of executing a database query based on a geographicallocation preference, conveyance service requests 15 organized in thirddatabase table can be filtered and sorted by geographical proximity ortravel time from AV 3B that can be identified as preferred. Theconveyance service requests 15 that do not match a selected preference19 can be discarded or ignored. The filtered conveyance service request16 with the closest geographical proximity to an autonomous vehicle 3Bthat can be identified as preferred, can be identified as a preferredconveyance service request 17B by AVAP or a central server 9. Apreferred conveyance service request 17B can be secured or obtained foror with an autonomous vehicle 3B that can be identified as preferred.

Both autonomous vehicle 3A and 3B can perform conveyance services andthe substantially real time geographical location of an autonomousvehicle 3A and 3B can update or change, while the AVAP can analyze orevaluate conveyance service requests 15, a fleet of autonomous vehicles3, conveyance data corresponding to a fleet of autonomous vehicles 3, ora combination thereof, continuously in substantially real time, and thensecure subsequent or additional preferred conveyance service requests 17for or with autonomous vehicles 3A and 3B that can be identified aspreferred, until stopped by an owner or controller of an autonomousvehicle 4 or a fleet manager. In this example, a fleet of autonomousvehicles 3 in conjunction with corresponding conveyance data can befiltered and AVs 3A and 3B can be identified as preferred in a same orsimilar process to filter and identify conveyance service requests 15into a preferred conveyance service requests 17.

Conveyance service requests 15D can be a courierdelivery request and a good delivery request submitted to one externalserver 10D associated with a service provider 5D or good supplier, asindicated by a dashed line 53. There are no conveyance service requests15 submitted to external server 10E associated with service provider 5Eor fleet manager.

As illustrated, each individual service provider 5 can control, own,operate, or manage a service provider 5 network that can have adifferent feature or a different variation. Each individual serviceprovider 5 network can be displayed with a different combination of aconnection. Each individual service provider 5 network can display adata flow, via a different or unique line, and who each individualservice provider 5 can communicate with. A link can be a connection oran association with a software function or a software component relatingto an application 6, an owner/controller application, a terminal 7, acentral server 9, an external server 10, or a combination thereof.

FIG. 11 illustrates an exemplary sequence for transformation of aconveyance service request 15 into a preferred conveyance servicerequest 17. Each individual conveyance service request 15 can bedisplayed with a corresponding letter A, B, C, D, E, F, and G toidentify different service providers associated with each request. Aselected preference 19 can be applied to filter conveyance servicerequests 15 into filtered conveyance service requests 16. The preferredconveyance service requests 17 can be identified from the filteredconveyance service requests 16 by utilizing a selected preference 19.Both conveyance service requests 15F and 15G do not match or satisfy aselected preference 19 and therefore do not become filtered conveyanceservice requests 16. The filtered conveyance service requests 16, 16A,16B, 16C, 16D, and 16E can be sorted relating to a selected preference19 and as a result both filtered conveyance service requests 16D and 16Edo not become preferred conveyance service requests 17. The filteredconveyance service requests 16, 16A, 16B, and 16C become preferredconveyance service requests 17, 17A, 17B, and 17C. All or some ofconveyance data relating to an AV 3 can be filtered and can beidentified as preferred in a same or a similar process to filter andidentify a conveyance service request 15 into a preferred conveyanceservice request 17. A link can be a connection or an association with asoftware function or a software component relating to an application 6,an owner/controller application, a terminal 7, a central server 9, anexternal server 10, or a combination thereof.

FIG. 12 provides a high-level diagram showing an exemplary integrationof hardware and software. An application 6, a central server 9, aterminal 7, a link 8, or a combination thereof, can be combined orintegrated. An application 6, a central server 9, a link 8, or acombination thereof, can be combined or integrated on a terminal 7.

Alink 8 can be a connection or an association with a software function ora software component relating to an application 6, an owner/controllerapplication, an AV, a terminal 7, a central server 9, an external server10, or a combination thereof.

Referring for this example to FIGS. 4, 5, and 9-12 , a conveyanceservice request 15A can be a ride-hail request submitted by a conveyanceclient 1 to an external server 10A associated with a service provider5A, as indicated in FIG. 10 by a single solid line 50. A conveyanceservice request 15B can be a ride-hail request submitted by a conveyanceclient 1 to an external server 10B associated with a service provider5B, as indicated by a circular dotted line 51. Conveyance servicerequests 15C can be a food delivery request and a ride-hail request thatcan come from two external servers 10C associated with a serviceprovider 5C, as both can be indicated by a double solid line 52.Conveyance service requests 15D can be a courier delivery request and agood delivery request submitted by two conveyance clients 1 to oneexternal server 10D associated with service provider 5D or goodsupplier, as indicated by a dashes line 53. There are no conveyanceservice requests 15 submitted to an external server 10E associated witha service provider 5E or fleet manager on FIG. 10 .

Each individual service provider 5 can be displayed with a correspondingletter A, B, C, D, and E to identify different service providers 5. Eachindividual service provider can optionally have or utilize anowner/controller application 11. Each individual service provider 5A,5B, 5C, and 5D can be displayed for example, with a different or uniqueline representing direct or indirect lines of connections. A serviceprovider 5E or a fleet manager can manage or operate a fleet ofautonomous vehicles 3 for another service provider 5C, which isdemonstrated and displayed as having a same double solid line as serviceprovider 5C.

Each service provider 5 can utilize an external server 10 in conjunctionwith a central server 9. In this example, a ride-hail request, which isillustrated with a human and briefcase icon or visual, can becharacterized as a conveyance service request 15A in conjunction withcorresponding conveyance data and can be received, managed, operated, ora combination thereof, on or at one external server 10A that can beassociated with service provider 5A. In this example, a service provider5A can utilize one external server 10A in conjunction with a centralserver 9 to manage a conveyance service request 15A in conjunction withcorresponding conveyance data and another or separate external server10A in conjunction with the central server 9 for managing or controllingan autonomous vehicle 3A, conveyance data relating to an autonomousvehicle 3A, a substantially real time geographical location of anautonomous vehicles 3A, or a combination thereof. In this example, aservice provider 5A can utilize two different external servers 10A inconjunction with a central server 9 that can manage an on-demand serviceprovider 5A network and match the supply of an autonomous vehicle 3A foror with the demand for ride-hail requests.

A service provider 5B can be associated with one external server 10B inconjunction with a central server 9, that can receive, store,standardize, aggregate, or a combination thereof, a conveyance servicerequest 15B in conjunction with corresponding conveyance data. In thisexample, a ride-hail request, which is illustrated with a human andbriefcase icon or visual, can be characterized as a conveyance servicerequest 15B in conjunction with corresponding conveyance data and can bereceived, stored, or managed on or at one external server 10B inconjunction with a central server 9. In this example, a service provider5B does not own or control one external server 10B in conjunction with acentral server 9 to manage or operate an autonomous vehicle 3B,conveyance data relating to an autonomous vehicle 3B, a substantiallyreal time geographical location of an autonomous vehicle 3B, or acombination thereof, but does have direct communication to or with anautonomous vehicle 3B through a central server 9.

Both external servers 10C in conjunction with a central server 9 canutilize a database table for pre-categorizing, categorizing, storing,organizing, or a combination thereof, all or some of conveyance servicerequests 15C in conjunction with corresponding conveyance data. In thisexample, a food delivery request, which is illustrated with a pizza boxicon or visual, can be characterized as a conveyance service request 15Cin conjunction with corresponding conveyance data and can be received,categorized, stored, operated, and/or organized in one external server10C in conjunction with a central server 9. A ride-hail request, whichis illustrated with a human and briefcase icon or visual, can becharacterized as a conveyance service request 15C in conjunction withcorresponding conveyance data and can be received, categorized, stored,operated, or organized at a separate external server 10C in conjunctionwith the central server 9. A service provider 5C can utilize twodifferent external servers 10C or at least two different database tablesin conjunction with a central server 9 to manage or control all or someof conveyance services based on an individual conveyance industrysegment. In this example, a service provider 5C is the only serviceprovider 5 that can configure both external servers 10C communicatedirectly with each other, as illustrated by a double solid line 52between both external servers 10C. In this example, a service provider5C can update or change a selected preference 19 or all or some ofconveyance service requests 15C in conjunction with correspondingconveyance data that can be pre-categorized, categorized, stored, and/ororganized on one external server 10C, an external server 10C, bothexternal servers 10C, a central server 9, or a combination thereof.

A service provider 5D or good supplier can be associated with twoexternal servers 10D in conjunction with a central server 9, which canstore, standardize, and/or aggregate all or some of conveyance servicerequests 15D in conjunction with corresponding conveyance data, all orsome of conveyance data relating to three autonomous vehicles 3D, all orsome of the substantially real time geographical location of threeautonomous vehicles 3D, or a combination thereof. In this example, acourier delivery request, which is illustrated with a document icon orvisual, can be characterized as a conveyance service request 15D inconjunction with corresponding conveyance data and can be standardized,aggregated, organized, and/or managed in one external server 10D inconjunction with a central server 9.

In this example, a good delivery request, which is illustrated with apackage icon or visual, can be characterized as a conveyance servicerequest 15D in conjunction with corresponding conveyance data and can bestandardized, aggregated, organized, and/or managed on or at the sameexternal server 10D in conjunction with a central server 9. In thisexample, a service provider 5D or good supplier can utilize one externalserver 10D or a database table in conjunction with a central server 9 toadminister all or some of conveyance services based on two differentconveyance industry segments. In this example, a service provider 5D ora good supplier can utilize one external server 10D or a database tablein conjunction with a central server 9 to administer all or some ofconveyance service requests 15D in conjunction with correspondingconveyance data. In this example, a service provider 5D or a goodsupplier can utilize another or separate external server 10D or adatabase table in conjunction with the central server 9 to administerall or some of AVs 3D, all or some of conveyance data relating to threeAVs 3D, all or some of the substantially real time geographical locationof three AVs 3D, or a combination thereof. In this example, a serviceprovider 5D or a good supplier can utilize two different externalservers 10D in conjunction with a central server 9 to manage anon-demand delivery network with one external server 10D facilitating allor some of the supply of autonomous vehicles 3D and the other externalserver 10D facilitating all or some of the demand for conveyanceservices.

A service provider 5E or a fleet manager can be associated with oneexternal server 10E in conjunction with a central server 9, which canstore, pre-standardize, and/or aggregate conveyance data relating to anAV 3C, a substantially real time geographical location of an autonomousvehicle 3C, or a combination thereof, that can be directly or indirectlysourced or provided by a service provider 5C that can be associated withtwo external servers 10C in conjunction with a central server 9. In thisexample, a service provider 5E or a fleet manager can utilize oneexternal server 10E in conjunction with a central server 9 to control oroperate an autonomous vehicle 3C, that can only perform all or some ofconveyance services for a service provider 5C.

Service provider 5E or a fleet manager can optionally manage or operatean external server 10C directly or indirectly with a central server 9,that can be associated with a service provider 5C. In this example, aride-hail request, that is illustrated with a human and briefcase iconor visual, can be characterized as a conveyance service request 15C inconjunction with corresponding conveyance data that can be matched andsecured or obtained for or with an autonomous vehicle 3C through anexternal server 10C, a central server 9, one external server 10E, or acombination thereof.

External servers 10A, 10B, 10C, 10D, and 10E, can be connected to acentral server 9 by way of a link 8. Each link 8 can be displayed forexample, with a different or unique line representing direct or indirectlines of connections between individual network participants containedtherein.

A service provider 5A can only perform ride-hail requests becauseservice provider 5A can only operate in the ride-hail industry segment,as evident with no other conveyance service requests 15 associated witha service provider 5A or an external server 10A. A service provider 5Acan employ an Autonomous Vehicle Automated Platform that can onlyutilize an autonomous vehicle 3A to perform a conveyance servicerelating to a conveyance service request 15A. In this example, a serviceprovider 5A can have their own autonomous vehicle 3A controlled oroperated by a central server 9 in conjunction with one external server10A and can have their own conveyance service request 15A controlled oroperated by the central server 9 in conjunction with the other externalserver 10A.

Service provider 5A can optionally have direct or indirect communicationbetween a central server 9 and an external server 10A by way of a link8. In this example, a service provider 5A can demonstrate a preferredsystem, a preferred method, or a combination thereof, when operating aclosed-end or private service provider 5 network. A service provider 5can however utilize an Autonomous Vehicle Automated Platform that canallow or facilitate other autonomous vehicles 3 to perform conveyanceservices, as evident by an autonomous vehicle 3C being operated orcontrolled by a service provider 5E for a service provider 5C.

A service provider 5B can only provide ride-hail requests becauseservice provider 5B can only operate in the ride-hail industry segment,as evident with no other conveyance service requests 15 associated withservice provider 5B or external server 10B. In this example, a serviceprovider 5B does have their own autonomous vehicle 3B, however, serviceprovider 5B does not have the appropriate software or logistics toperform and execute conveyance services in an efficient manner andrequires resources from a logistics provider. In this example, a serviceprovider 5B can access logistics to perform a conveyance service from aservice provider 5E or a fleet manager, as a service provider 5E is alsoa logistics provider and can provide access to service provider's 5Elogistics capabilities for a fee. In this example, a service provider 5Bcan directly contract or use an autonomous vehicle 3B that can beassociated with a service provider 5B by employing an AVAP that utilizeslogistics from a service provider 5E to perform a ride-hail requestrelating to a conveyance service request 15B.
